It's only NASCAR where the race winner is penalized for cheating like 87 times a year.

What is your ideal NASCAR product and when did it happen? Because what they're putting on the track right now is pretty impressive compared to what it's been for a long loving time.

The best the sport's been in a long loving time, really? One of the primary contenders for the championship just got disqualified for being a cheating gently caress like two races before the end of the season you idiot. Run your mouth about how great cheating was in the 80's some more though, that'll keep top level teams from shutting down and race fans from tuning out.

They're already tuned out and ots not because of cheating. Literally no one gives a poo poo about it except you.

So, this is pretty cut and dry here:

-NASCAR requires a single source for the spoilers. Make your own and you're in deep poo poo, as we saw here.
-The 4 didn't do this. They're now in deep poo poo.
-Because the 4 decided to be a bunch of dickheads, they now have to inspect EVERY spoiler now, which they didn't have to because they were operating under the assumption that all the spoilers were identical.

So there you go.

Yes, cheating at a top level team is what's killing stock car racing. You've cracked the case.

Sir, this is a McDonald's drive-thru.

More seriously, though, you can argue NASCAR hasn't done enough over the years to discourage race winners from cheating again, but I can actually remember the second half of this year (which I can't say I remember much about any of the last few years overall). In a twisted way, Brian France getting busted for driving with party liquor in his system has actually made me slightly optimistic, especially combined with the improved racing. The sport is still screwed mightily, but at least the product is...better?

Furthermore, I never said NASCAR was better at some other point, what I said was the organization needs to bring the hammer down like the fist of an angry god anytime they catch someone doing it, rather than this piddly bullshit punishment they currently mete out. In response, a half dozen morons sprung up in defense of... cheating?

Respect the power of the wind
NASCAR's problem with cheating now isn't that the teams are still cheating. It's that NASCAR has such a tight grip on things that it's very loving expensive to squeeze legitimate extra speed out of a car, and possibly even more expensive to engineer intuitive cheats. It's not Formula 1 levels of spending and development but for what NASCAR racing should all be about the resemblance is bothersome.

Case in point. Rednecks don't create custom CAD files and fabricate custom rear spoilers just so they can move them a tenth of an inch to the right.

Didn't NASCAR effectively prevent a split by buying ARCA because no Charter holder can participate in a competing stock car series or something and ARCA was the only one close to something which could've, in theory, become a competitor where major teams could land?

I'm hoping the head of the mental midget snake having been cut off (Brian) and replaced by one more sensible (Jim)/literally anyone else might point things in the right direction by default.

Ross Chastain to CGR full-time in NXS next year. John Hunter Nemechek may run a second car part-time.

e- Is this what it takes to earn a ride now? :wtc:

quote:

Most of Chastain’s opportunity can be attributed to DC Solar CEO Jeff Carpoff, who has lobbied for Chastain all season, even hiring the driver to pilot his motorhome to races across the country in addition to his duties at JDM.

"I told him, he didn't know what the hell he was talking about and leave the driver hiring to me," Ganassi said about Carpoff. "Well, he was right ... everyone knows I like winners and we've seen he can win races."

Going all-in with the racing business would seemingly contradict failson Brian France’s desire to buy an NFL team, which makes for interesting fallout from him getting arrested earlier this year...what a difference a few months makes.
